What is the Collegiate Recovery Program?
The Collegiate Recovery Program provides support and resources to UAlbany students who:
- are in recovery or considering it
- want to better understand their relationship with substance use, gambling and/or other concerns
- have friends and/or family members with concerning substance use or problem gambling
Recovery is a highly personalized process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives and strive to reach their full potential.
The Collegiate Recovery Program aims to foster a recovery-ready campus community and hosts programs to increase awareness and reduce stigma related to substance use disorder and other addictive behaviors.
